Is it an unhealthy decision to transfer from one job to another frequently?

Dear friend, If it is a matter of inconsistent in the behaviour or unable to stick to a work for long without any reasons I hope it would give a negative side. If the person is looking for better and have better talents I hope it has a positive side. Being in a work for a long periond giving better output is another positive side.

good discusion,yes, for me,it is unhealthy, i have graduation from school nearly four years, during this time, i have change four job, nearly one year transfer one job, i like stable,but for some reason, such as salary,environment or others which is diffcult to say, i'm not so sure, which job is good for me ? i know, i'm not so young, i should find a stable job, but, which job can be make stable and suitable for me, i'm looking for new job and fix new company and job, and then find this job isn't suitable for me and tired.repeat this process.i'm so tired and unhealty.a good job is difficult to find.

There are many factors to consider. Reasons like you have to quit your presence job because it no longer help you to improve or it does not interest you more. About your question I don't think we can judge it as unhealthy if someone quit job and find for new job because they already decided for this or circumstance force them to do it like because of recession, or transportation or family issues. The best idea for me is everytime you quit on a job make sure that you will transferring on job that is experience related so you can grow.

Unhealthy in the sense that you keep on starting learning things or keep on starting to get along well with others. You're always in the period of adjustments. If you stick to one job however, the sooner is your recognition, you're getting permanency and the sooner is your promotion. It depends however on the reasons why you transfer from one job to another. You have all the prerogatives to choose or to decide of which job to keep.

It depends on the situation.when the company isn't granting an employee room for growth,training for new skills, and so-so salary,it's ok to go.if you change jobs frequently,it will be advisable to assess your skills and what you REALLY WANT to do for a living.maybe you leave jobs frequently because you can't find a job that you really like and love.

I think it is unhealthy decision for your carrier. Because if you change jobs too fast then there will be one day when no company will rely on you. They will always think that you are not a responsible person and you will not stick to there company too. Changing job fast gives an impression that you are fickle minded and you will not bring value to their company. Manpower turn over is a big problem. No company wants to hire such person who will not stick to there company. I suggestion to you is that you should not change company that first. You can do once or twice when you get a better offer and you have better opportunity. Best of luck.

I think it depends on the situation. If you are in a job that you hate or you feel is threatened it probably isn't a healthy situation. I'm sure prospective employers don't like to look at a resume of someone that has a bad work history. In fact, many will not hire someone that seems to change jobs a lot.

It depends on the circumstances behind those changes. I have always changed a lot because I have always had a second job, or at least for the most of the last ten years. It looks like I have changed a lot, but I have just always kept steady employment. I think continuity of employment is key in this case.

In all my life I didnt have but a couple of pretty steady jobs like a year each . But mine was hubbys job would end and we had to move so I would work where ever we ended up and work while his job lasted . He was a lineman so we did alot of traveling!

hi there, im guilty of job hopping. here in my country, the trend is to stay in one company and be promoted. however , when IT came, job hopping had become a trend. the more IT companies you have been with, the better. but so many companies do not understand this job hopping thing so the tendency is a job hopper will not be accepted since he cannot stay in one company, the thinking is a person who cannot stay in one company has attitude problems and adjustment problems. but this is not all true. since a job hopper finds what the best offer there is. however there is also a negative consequence in being a job hopper, he will not accomplish his retirement fund if there is any in a company, he will also have no specialization, he will also have to seek his age since if he hops all the time he will never realize he is no longer marketable. Goodluck!

I wont say it's an unhealthy decision because it's a way of gaining experience and also learning new trades at the same time.. ON top of that, it's always good to have more different working environment as it reflects on your ability to adapt anywhere, as well as how u fare working with new faces ^_^ Furthermore, u can also take it as a chance to upgrade yourself, knowing more about the latest trend in the industry ^_^ ALl that will help u alot when u have decided where your career is going ^_^

i dont know i think stability is important but i also think if you have not found what is good for you yet maybe leaving has been wise.maybe search deep in side of your self find out what you really want to do and work on sticking with it. once you find what is good for you you will stay with no problem. you could just be bored with all the other stuff. good luck!

No, if you see a problem with your job I think you should leave and get another job. I have been working for 35 years & have had around 10 jobs. The longest was 7 years and the shortest was 1 year too. The others was around 3 to 5 years. My favorite job I ever had I worked there 5 years and I loved this job but my whole department was sent overseas. So I collected unemployment for 1 1/2 years and I went back to college. My second favorite job was the one I worked for 7 years, but new management came in & the old workers was replaced. Some people had worked there over 20 years. I live in Georgia and the workers just does not have any rights what so ever. It is the worst state to work in, for employers can treat the employee any old kind of way.

if you frequently left jobs just because you don't feel like being on it anymore, that's unhealthy. but if you feel that the job is not promoting growth and does not help you stabilize your sense of self-worth, it is quite okay. i mean, why stay in a job that you know you're just doing because it's your job?
